Verse 1
Lately I’ve been thinking about us
Momma told me find love, well I found lust
I have a question if I may, baby what would you say
If the rubber broke before I bust
And that .01 that was loaded in my gun
Took form as our son
Could I handle a little me?
If there wasn’t Plan B, what would my plans be?
Would I abort you? could I support you?
Would I stay with your mom or would you grow up in a court room?
I wouldn’t let a judge be the judge of us
But if I had you, I couldn’t say in God we trust
Because my trust was broken
Behind closed doors a part of me was left open
Like Trojan was playing bad D
I wonder how my pops felt when he had me
Was he scared, was he nervous?
Or was he overjoyed ‘cause he had me on purpose?
He was 36, I’m 18
Wondering if safe sex is still a safe thing

Chorus
I’ve been thinking ‘bout, I’ve been thinking ‘bout
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you lately
I’ve been thinking ‘bout, I’ve been thinking ‘bout
I’ve been thinking ‘bout you lately
You’re on my mind right now
You’re on my mind right now in a bad way
You’re on my mind right now

Verse 2
When you're caught in the moment it's like why wait?
Until you hear them two words: I'm late
And now you're just stuck here freaking out
Like you don't even know this girl and she's gon' have your child
I've had my whole life change with one text
I'm 18, all we ever do is drunk sex
Got a nigga wishing he was celibate
I’m Staring at this girl and she's telling me she's keeping it
And I ain't tryna force no abortion
But really though, would you want a shitty life for your son
7 pounds, 6 ounces can weigh a ton
And I ain't tryna place that burden on anyone
Especially two kids who can't feed themselves
I swore I'd raise my child without needing help
We killed it, and I ain't one for taking life
So this verse is for the child that I lost that night
